CHAILLÉ-SOUS-LES-ORMEAUX, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies (ISIN: FR0013451044, Ticker: ALHGR) (“Hoffmann Green Cement” or the “Company”), an industrial player committed to the decarbonation of the construction sector that designs and markets innovative cold produced, clinker-free cements, announces the signing of a partnership with Rougier & Fils, a company specializing in structural construction and civil engineering works, particularly for industrial and commercial buildings in Northwestern France.

A partnership to accelerate the decarbonization of industrial and commercial construction projects

Founded in 1927, Rougier & Fils is a family-owned company that currently employs nearly 100 people and generates approximately €30 million in revenue. Drawing on its recognized expertise in structural construction works for industrial and commercial buildings, the company supports its clients on projects of all sizes, combining strong responsiveness, proven technical expertise and high standards of workmanship.

Committed to keeping pace with developments in its sector and addressing the growing challenges of decarbonizing construction, Rougier & Fils has chosen to partner with Hoffmann Green Cement to incorporate its 0% clinker cement solutions into the foundations and concrete structures of its industrial and commercial projects.

This partnership has already resulted in the successful completion of several projects, including the construction of warehouses for the Telamon Group in Champagne-sur-Oise. These initial projects demonstrate the ability of Rougier & Fils and Hoffmann Green to deploy 0% clinker cement solutions on a large scale, contributing to the decarbonization of industrial construction projects.

Hoffmann Green continues to expand the deployment of its solutions in Northwestern France

Thanks to its regional presence and extensive geographical reach, from Lille to Saint-Nazaire, Rougier & Fils represents a strategic partner for Hoffmann Green Cement in strengthening the presence of its solutions in Northwestern France.

This partnership also supports Hoffmann Green's business momentum by providing access to industrial and commercial projects requiring significant volumes of cement. It is therefore fully aligned with the Company's strategy to diversify its target markets, expand the applications of its 0% clinker solutions and accelerate the ramp-up of its industrial operations.

Julien BLANCHARD and David HOFFMANN, Co-founders of Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies, say: “We are delighted to enter into this partnership with Rougier & Fils, a company recognized for its expertise and know-how in structural construction for industrial and commercial buildings. The initial projects carried out together demonstrate the relevance of our 0% clinker solutions in addressing the decarbonization challenges of industrial construction. This partnership also enables us to strengthen our presence in Northwestern France and tap into a market characterized by significant cement volume requirements.”

Alexis ROQUES, President of Rougier & Fils, added: “For nearly a century, Rougier & Fils has kept pace with developments in the structural construction industry and the evolving needs of its clients. Decarbonizing construction is now a major challenge for our sector. Our partnership with Hoffmann Green enables us to offer our clients an innovative, clinker-free cement solution while maintaining our high standards of quality, performance and technical expertise. The initial projects carried out with Hoffmann Green have been particularly encouraging and reinforce our commitment to continuing the deployment of these solutions across our future industrial and commercial projects.”
